Patent GB-2355089-A (GB)
Title: Clustering
Inventor: INOUE KEISUKE
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: To automatically, in accordance with the intent of a designer, divide multiple faces constituting a three-dimensional object into one or more areas, a clustering unit 32 accepts a shape model that expresses constituent faces for a three-dimensional shape, and restrictive condition data that designate which of these faces must be sorted into the same (or a different) cluster. The clustering unit 32 selects, from the shape model, faces that must be included in the same cluster and combines them to form an initial cluster. In accordance with the restrictive condition, the clustering unit 32 sequentially forms clusters for which the directions of normal lines do not differ greatly, and that provide a smooth frame line after the clusters have been combined. As the final result of the processing, clusters are output that ensure an area equal to or greater than an appropriate area.

Title: Separator for separating glycol or other de-icing additives from water
Inventor: BURT DAVID ALAN
IPC: B01D17/00
Filed: 2000-09-14
Abstract: De-icing additives eg glycol are removed from water in three treatment stages. The first stage consists of a balancing tank 1,2 with an aerator 5 and an area 17 for sludge settlement. The aeration reduces the globule size, and maintains the mixture in an aerobic state. The second stage is an inclined plate separator 16 preceded and followed by broadcrested weirs 7,10, which coalesce the glycol globules into larger globules. The third stage is a honeycombed tank of vertical slots 12 capped by broadcrested weirs 13. Glycol and the other de-icers, being heavier than water, will collect at the sloping bottom of the tank in the area 14. Each stage may be constituted by a plurality of treatment tanks in parallel. The separator is used to separate glycol and other de-icing additives from the stormwater removed from airport runways before it is released into a watercourse.

IPC: G01S7/62
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: A screen (41a) on which water depth information obtained from an echo signal is historically displayed and a screen 41b on which fish school detection information obtained from an echo signal is displayed, are displayed side by side on a display screen 41 of a display instrument 9 or either one is displayed by switching. Thus, a large amount of information is displayed on a limited space of a small display instrument efficiently and effectively and to be easy to see. Further, when a water depth value becomes a set value of an alarm water depth mark or less, an alarm 45 is displayed on the display screen of the display instrument, and an alarm is given by sound. At the same time as this, the brilliance of the display screen is raised to the maximum brilliance to make the screen brighter, so that the contents of the alarm are made easy to see. Thus, quick measures can be taken in an emergency. Moreover, after a mode is set to a help mode by a mode switch, when any one of keys in an operation portion is pushed, guidance of the function, operation procedure, and the like of the pushed key is displayed on a display portion. Thus, the guidance as to the key can be displayed by a simple operation in a help mode.

Patent GB-2365697-A (GB)
Title: Wireless internet access system and earth station
Inventor: OHKI MASAHIRO
IPC: H04W24/00
Filed: 2001-03-12
Abstract: The present invention provides a system that avoids degradation of reception quality, when the timing of antenna control overlaps with the timing of user data reception. When the timing of antenna beacon signal reception has fallen within the reception of user data, an antenna control disable signal is generated according to the detection of a start delimiter. The control of the antenna is thereby prohibited. The occurrence of errors in the reception data is thereby avoided. The antenna beacon reception signal is held in an accumulation means. At the termination of the reception data, the control of the antenna is started. Thereby, the degradation in the quality of the transmission data is avoided to the entire system without adversely affecting the control of the antenna.

Title: Retrievable drill string pressure measurement device
Inventor: CAMWELL PAUL L
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 2001-08-14
Abstract: A drill string section for use in making up a drill string for oil and gas drilling carries instrumentation for measurement while drilling and logging while drilling operations. The instrumentation includes a dynamic pressure device for measuring drill string bore pressure of incoming pressurized fluid and drill string annular pressure of returned pressurized fluid. The instrumentation is retrievable from the drill string when the drill string section is stuck or otherwise abandoned downhole. Said instrumentation can also be returned down hole and re-seated in instances where the drill string is recommissioned for operation, or in instances wherein the tool needed replacement. The drill string section comprises a length of drill string pipe having a bore defined by an inner surface of a wall which has an outer surface. A cylindrical landing sleeve 34 and a support for centering the sleeve in the pipe bore is provided. Communicating ports extend through the drill pipe wall from the outer pipe surface through one or more leg supports to an inside surface of the landing sleeve. The instrumentation is provided in an elongate cylindrical tool shell 32. The outer surface of the tool shell has spaced apart seals which engage the inside surface of the landing sleeve. The seals are located in the sleeve on either side of the communicating port(s), forming a leak tight annular region that eventually communicates through appropriate ports to a pressure transducer. The instrumentation in the tool shell has a first terminated port 48 in the tool shell located between the seals which communicates with a pressure sensor 46 used to measure drill string annular pressure. A second terminated port 58 in the tool shell opens into the drill string bore and terminates at a second pressure sensor 52, permitting a pressure measurement of the drill string bore to be made independently of the said drill string annular pressure.

Title: Method of Determining Engine Speed
Inventor: DEPPE PETER
IPC: F02D41/34
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: A method of determining engine actual rotational speed entails ascertainment of speed by two different procedures, wherein one procedure is used insofar as the engine speed lies above a threshold value and the other procedure insofar as the speed lies below this threshold value, optionally with a hysteresis for the threshold value being taken into consideration. In one procedure the spacing in time between synchronisation pulses (SYNCHRO), which are spaced apart by a predetermined crankshaft angle, is evaluated, whilst in the other procedure each spacing or predetermined spacings of signal flanks, or edges, of a rectangular signal train (S1), which is generated in dependence on crankshaft rotational speed, is or are evaluated. The corresponding time spacings can be written into storage cells of a drum memory and read out again from these cells at a predetermined clock rate.

Title: Method of controlling power supply to a low noise block
Inventor: LAWSON NICK
IPC: H04N5/63
Filed: 2002-01-16
Abstract: A method for the control and application of a power supply to a low noise block (LNB) device and/or associated apparatus connected to a broadcast data receiver for satellite television. The method uses control means which, upon the switching on of the power supply, checks the voltage level at the LNB and if the voltage level exceeds a predefined threshold the LNB is deemed to be operable. If the voltage level is below the threshold level, the LNB is deemed to be inoperable, the power supply is switched off and then reapplied a period of time later and again the voltage level is checked. This allows genuine failure to be detected but allows initial failure due to capacitance loading to be overcome and an operable LNB to be accurately detected.
